Charging Trump Will Result in Mayhem

One of Trump’s lawyers predicts “mayhem” if Trump is indicted.

I see nothing wrong with that.  Anyone who expects every single one of the tens of millions of heavily armed Trump supporters to stand around peacefully while Trump is hauled away in handcuffs is an idiot.

The attorney goes on to say, “That would be a terrible mistake.”

That’s where he’s wrong.

It must happen, and it will.  The trick is minimizing the violence by providing as much relevant information to every American who will listen, as to Trump’s crimes, and his mental state of guilt.

But even in the best of circumstances, charging Trump will result in a brief period of mayhem, as violent insurrectionists hit the streets and are stopped with force.

The problem is that not charging Trump will result in the end of American democracy.  We need to make our choice.
